The cut of a diamond refers not to its shape, but to the balance of proportion, symmetry and polish achieved by the diamond cutter. The better a diamond is cut, the greater its overall beauty. The better a diamond is cut, the greater its ability to reflect and refract light. Modern diamond cutters understand how light passes through diamonds and have created a set of specific proportions and angles to best optimize and showcase the diamond’s internal brilliance.
